Are Fanny Packs Making a Comeback?

Are you a style risk-taker? Or, maybe you’re all about that late ’80s, early ’90s nostalgia? If you fall into either one of those categories you may have heard that the fanny pack is making a comeback. We’re not talking about that neon yellow one that you were rocking in middle school with your UNO Cards and Bubble Yum inside, either.

Today, luxury brands like Coach and Louis Vuitton are adding a modern twist to a pop-culture classic. Sure, it’s rooted in the same idea (a “hip bag”), but these high-end brands are changing the way guys are wearing them. Straight from the runway, we’re seeing guys wearing fanny packs as across-the-back or over-the-chest as “sling packs.” Now, the fanny pack is the new commuter go-to accessory for hauling everything from your wallet to your tablet.
